MCI Teaching Award 2019/20

In recognition of their excellent teaching performance, three MCI professors received the MCI Teaching Award again this year. The award is based on the students' course evaluations. Particularly in times of online teaching, it is a special achievement that the students rate the good structuring as well as the comprehensible and transparent presentation of the course content particularly positively.

The MCI Teaching Award 2019/20 goes to Sabine Mertens, who works in the Department of Tourism and is receiving the award for the second time, Univ. Prof. Franz Pegger, who is receiving the award for the third time for his exceptional teaching of law, accounting, bookkeeping and taxation on various courses at the MCI, and Dr. Michael Meister, MSc, who teaches in the Department of Environmental, Process and Energy Engineering and will receive his MCI professorship in 2020.

This year's award ceremony was performed virtually by Claudia Mössenlechner, Deputy Head of the College at the MCI: "The winners of the MCI Teaching Award in2019/20 have impressively demonstrated that the teaching staff at the MCI can inspire students for their subject - and do so online. Students particularly appreciate their ability to present content in a structured, comprehensible and transparent manner, as well as their dedicated teaching style, personal commitment and ability to inspire enthusiasm for the subject."

MCI Teaching Award

The Teaching Award was established in 2015 by the MCI's University Council to give visibility to outstanding teaching achievements. The award is presented annually to the three best-rated teachers on the basis of course evaluations by students.
